Thanks for the testing links. I tried out Vertain and my site had a 7 second load time. This did not tell me at which speed it was connecting. I was hoping to get a comparison for like dial up load speed. I'll try your other reference as well and see what results.

Anyhow, Vertain said their benchmark average speed is around 3 seconds and it gave me details of my loading process.
My site took about 1 second to load and the Google Banner took about 6 seconds to load. Okay, now I'm agravated.
